GST


Inter-State e-way Bill to be made compulsory from 1st of February, 2018

 

Dear Members,

 

The 24th meeting of GST Council was held on 16/12/2017 to discuss the implementation of e-way Bill system in the country.

 

As per press release issued by Ministry of Finance for above-said meeting,  following decisions have been taken about the e-way bill system:

 

  • The nationwide e-way Bill system will be ready to be rolled out on a trial basis latest by 16th  January, 2018. Trade and transporters can start using this system on a voluntary basis from 16th January, 2018.
  • The rules for implementation of nationwide e-way Bill system for inter-State movement of goods on a compulsory basis will be notified with effect from 1st  February, 2018. This will bring uniformity across the States for seamless inter-State movement of goods.
  • While the system for both inter-State and intra-State e-way Bill generation will be ready by 16th January, 2018, the States may choose their own timings for implementation of e-way Bill for intra-State movement of goods on any date before 1st June, 2018.
  • There are certain States which are already having system of e-way Bill for intra-State as well as inter-State movement and some of those States can be early adopters of national e-way Bill system for intra-State movement also. But in any case uniform system of e-way Bill for inter-State as well as intra-State movement will be implemented across the country by 1st  June, 2018.
